One popular party site in Geauga County is hidden deep within the woods,
the dirt path barely visible from the road. Nearly half a mile into the woods,
an abandoned campfire site is littered with beer boxes and cans. Deputies once
came upon 200 buggies when they broke up a party there.When Lieutenant McCaffrey
does find a drinking party, he knows how to handle it.A few years ago, he was
called to an outdoor party of about 300 Amish revelers."I got on the radio and
said, `Find me a bishop, any bishop,'" Lieutenant McCaffrey recalls.With a
bishop by his side, Lieutenant McCaffrey approached the bonfire party.The crowd
got very quiet, turned off the music, and started speaking in German.
Is the State pushing religion onto these kids? From the perspective of the kids, has the State formed a special alliance with the Amish church? If so, does that alliance constitute promotion of a religion?
If the answer is yes, then WTF. If the answer is no, would it still be no if the Amish weren't a minority?
